"Of the dietary fat we eat, saturated and trans fats are most highly correlated with an increased risk of Heart disease because they increase blood cholesterol levels by altering the way cholesterol is removed from the blood. Thus, the recommended intake of saturated fat is less than 7% of our total energy; unfortunately, our average intake of saturated fat is between 11% and 12% of energy".
